RESUMO
Objective To investigate the early diagnostic value of serum neuron‐specific enolase(NSE) in neonaal hypoxic‐is‐chemic encephalopathy(HIE) .Methods Eighty full term neonates with HIE in the neonatology department of our hospital from January 2013 to June 2014 were selected as the observation group and contemporaneous 30 full term neonates without perinatal as‐phyxia as the control group .Serum NSE was detected within 24 h after birth and after 2‐week comprehensive treatment(mainly in‐cluding 10 d ganglioside therapy) .The neonatal patients were divided into the mild HIE in 18 cases ,moderate HIE in 48 cases and severe HIE 14 cases according to the HIE severity .The control group was performed the serum NSE detection within postnatal 24 h .Results The serum NSE level in the mild ,moderate and severe HIE groups was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0 .05) .The re‐detected results of serum NSE after 2‐week comprehensive treatment in the mild ,moderate and severe HIE groups were significantly decreased when compared with those at admission ,the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Serum NSE is a sensitive biochemical indicator for early diagnosing neonatal HIE ,and also reflect the severity of neonatal HIE .
